  2. Turndown ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown_ratio

    Turndown ratio refers to the width of the operational range of a device, and is defined as the ratio of the maximum capacity to minimum capacity. For example, a device with a maximum output of 10 units and a minimum output of 2 units has a turndown ratio of 5.

  3. Filigree concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filigree_concrete

    Detail of construction The process begins by manufacturing thin precast concrete panels, typically 2.25" thick, with the deck's bottom reinforcement included. The panels are then shipped to a jobsite and erected on temporary shoring.

  4. Shop drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shop_drawing

    The shop drawing normally shows more detail than the construction documents. It is drawn to explain the fabrication and/or installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor's installation crews. The style of the shop drawing is usually very different from that of the architect’s drawing.

  5. Structural drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_drawing

    A structural drawing, a type of engineering drawing, is a plan or set of plans and details for how a building or other structure will be built.Structural drawings are generally prepared by registered professional engineers, and based on information provided by architectural drawings.

  6. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel-reinforced slabs, typically between 100 and 500 mm thick, are most often used to construct floors and ceilings, while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving (see below). [1] [2]

  7. Voided biaxial slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voided_biaxial_slab

    Typical solid slabs have a loading capacity of around one-third of their own weight, which can create problems for long spans and high loadings. [2] By reducing the weight of the slab without compromising its structural strength, it is possible to create a thicker slab to support more weight over a longer span.

  8. Shallow foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_foundation

    Slab-on-grade foundations should not be used in areas with expansive clay soil. While elevated structural slabs actually perform better on expansive clays, it is generally accepted by the engineering community that slab-on-grade foundations offer the greatest cost-to-performance ratio for tract homes. Elevated structural slabs are generally ...

  9. Raised floor - Wikipedia

    An alternative raised floor application with disposable formworks from job site in Turkey A suction-cup tile lifter has been used to remove a tile.. A raised floor (also raised flooring, access floor(ing), or raised-access computer floor) provides an elevated structural floor above a solid substrate (often a concrete slab) to create a hidden void for the passage of mechanical and electrical ...
